Nando's in Merton

It's a good place to dine in. Plenty of spaces there and the parking is free.

the food was typically good as normal, however the bread roll tasted off. i saw a small green staff on it but i thought it was some kind of herb so, i started eating it that’s how i assumed that the one i saw was a mould. so i spoke to one of the server discreetly, told her to check the bread the bread that they are serving before they serve it. The server said that everything they serve and cook are always checked in the morning. So i said, just saying it. Then she asked me if i needed another one, I said no. I am just letting her know. Then she apologised. For me that conversation was finished but, the server came back to me and broke the bread infront of me and the tone of her voice is not appropriate. To me her action was very rude. this is not my first time eating at this restaurant。

We went for a late lunch on Wednesday 16th October. Met with a warm welcome from the host / manager (not sure). Food came with friendly service - the waitress was brilliant. Food was hot, tasty and we reallt enjoyed it. Best branch I have been to in a while. 4 stars as the table we sat at wasnt cleaned properly otherwise - excellent food and service.

My favourite place to eat peri peri chicken. Very helpful staff.

Everything was delicious 🤤 with a wide variety of sauces. Highly recommended to go.

Although we waited a significant amount of time for our dinner, the service was outstanding. We opted for the boneless sharing platter, which included fresh and juicy food packed with flavor. Our servers, Mj and Khan , took excellent care of us.

One of the better Nandos I’ve been to

I went there tonight with family and the staff (Abbie, Kai, Luke and the female manager I think, were remarkably amazing even as it was obvious they were crazily busy. Abbie and Kai were so polite and efficient, apologised and ensured everyone was served as promptly as possible. Kai is a really good and pleasant manager. Good team work

Very nice the staff were so friendly as I went alone however the staff were very accommodating

Food here is super yummy and it is served quickly.

Fantastic staff. Been in so many Nandos and the staff here are the friendliest. I live in North London but wouldn't mind driving all the way to eat in this restaurant. Keep it up! 💪🏽

Nice place, consistently good food. Okay service and okay price

A typical Nando’s in a retail park that does get busy at times

It's a Nandos, it works and has a decent layout.

A very popular restaurant consider making a reservation if you wish to dine here. The menu is made up of much of what is available at the other Nando franchises.

Food was delicious as most times that we have been to Nando's, and the service is also very good and friendly, BUT, for what you get portionwise, then the meals are exorbitant in my opinion. But I highly recommend the joint, a must have at some point!

Got a big take away spent over £100, they missed put 3 main foods. 2 kids drinks. Also ordered 3 extra chicken livers and they tasted horrible no spice at all no gravy nothing. Absolute waste of money

Spicy taste of Nando's chicken and variety of Sauces. Fresh Olives were amazing.

The fino pitta was dry, in the picture that was after I added sauce. There was no salad or sauce and this is the 2nd time in a row they have given me a disappointing take away order.

I went tonight with my wife and it was fantastic experience all around (unlike New Malden Nandos. Do not go to this one). Staff were very friendly and attentive (unlike New Malden Nandos. Do not go to this one). Chicken was not dry (which can be the case at New Malden branch. Don't go to New Malden Nandos). It was super enjoyable and we'll be back soon, this is our go-to restaurant if we're ever in the area. Can't wait to return!

Poor food standards, cold food, no seasoning and poor customer service! Disgraceful and no value for money. Go to your local Peri restaurants you will be better of!

I will never return again, very bad service and they tease you with the discounts they offer and non-existence when paying for the food. I am referring to the discounts that the Nandos head offices have for NHS or Go Ahead workers and other companies of 10%. A meal for two people would not exceed 3 or 4 pounds, that 10% and to save that money they prefer to lose to two clients, well, very good for the manager of Colliers Wood

The longest time I've had to wait for food in any Nandos. If you want faster and better service, look elsewhere.

Waited 45 minutes for a takeaway order and wasn't told how long it would be. The box was upside down, so leaked all over. Terrible service.

I have been to this Nandos a few times for takeaways orders. The food is always delicious but have always been disappointed with their service and waiting time. I believe this is a managerial fault as this specific branch has so much potential but it is not run well enough. Staff have to turn customers away at busy times when there are available seats upstairs due to various issues. Tonight I could not believe how long it took to place my takeaway order and the amount of time I had to wait. I waited 10min to place my order of 10 chicken wings (which is not a big order at all), and had to wait a further 30min to receive the order which is unacceptable. I received the order without an apology for the long waiting time. I was very close to asking for my money back and willing to walk out without any food. I recommend that management seriously look at the layout and service processes of this branch.

Ordered a takeaway online from here. Had me sitting about an hour and 20 mins only to be told they'd had a mix up with my order and they've closed the restaurant now so they cancelled my order. Absolute joke.

Exceptional Service from Nando's Manager MJ at Colliers Wood Nando's Today I had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional service from MJ, a manager at the Nando's Colliers Wood branch. As a loyal Nando's customer for the past 20 years, I've had the opportunity to dine at various locations, but none have left me as impressed as my recent visit to Colliers Wood. From the moment we walked in, MJ's professionalism and attention to detail were evident. He greeted us warmly and took the time to ensure our order was prepared exactly to our liking. Despite my unusual request for well-done corn (bordering on burnt), MJ executed it flawlessly, exceeding my expectations. What truly set MJ apart was his genuine care. He not only ensured our order was perfect but also took the time to engage with us, making us feel valued as customers. It's rare to encounter such dedication to customer satisfaction, and MJ's exemplary service deserves recognition. I had the opportunity to express my gratitude to MJ in person, but I wanted to ensure that his outstanding performance doesn't go unnoticed. His commitment to excellence is a testament to the values of Nando's, and I sincerely hope he receives the acknowledgment he deserves. I look forward to returning and thank you, MJ, for your outstanding work. You are an absolute legend.

30mins to get food. Longest I have ever had to wait at any Nando’s.

It has ample parking space. Staff knows their responsibility. Take and process orders efficiently. No items missed in the takeaway bag. Food was nice and hot, served quickly. Fries and spicy rice was on spot. Fino pitta could been prepped with a bit more nicely. Other than that cant fault the place.

I am very disappointed! Rude service and very disrespectful. I visited this location and the team member while talking to me started to talk with other customers who were entering after me to then talk back to me and saying that they had no tables available and I should have been waiting 35 minutes minimum.. Despite the rude action which I can understand may happen in busy time under pressure.. I could see the upstairs room was completely empty and they were keep making people waiting to avoid further people on the second floor... I can also understand that this maybe is a silent organisation because they are always under staffed, however I am a loyal customer and that s why I believe it is very cheeky sending people away since you have many available tables upstairs. I believe they should have extra support and maybe coaching on how to manage the pressure of busy time and multiple customers at once...

Got a takeaway the other day both of us ended up with upset stomach and diarrhea

Friendly staff, great food and service was very quick!

Bit small so there was a 25 minute wait to get inside

Quick service and staff are really friendly. Very enjoyable experience overall.

It's nandos let's be real. It is what it is. The tooting version though, it has more thought than others. I'm glad I came here. We ate eeeeverything

Chicken was very dry not as usual. Staff who work there is really nice so I don't want to say them anything bad.

Amazing service by Aiswaraya, she was very kind and helpful

Ordered 1 whole chicken, breast was very dry, my corn on the cob sticks was missing. The server arrived half way through the meal to check all was ok, by then we had made a start on the breast with lots of sauce so didn't feel the point in letting them know.

30 minute wait for a table considering there's free tables upstairs.

Rude female wait staff when I went to give my order so I walked out

Just had the most amazing service from Debra, thank you ☺️ your service is top class and you need to be promoted to GM like yesterday, thank you for your beautiful smile and more than a helpful service see you soon manager x x x

Was a very quick but positive experience. Didn't have to wait for a table despite being the weekend, some staff members were very kind and helped me with a query in the best way and the food was simply delicious. Thank you for the great experience!

Nando's in Colliers Wood is an absolute delight! The vibrant atmosphere, coupled with friendly staff, creates a welcoming dining experience. The peri-peri chicken is a true standout, perfectly grilled and bursting with flavor. The extensive menu caters to various tastes, ensuring everyone finds a favorite. The service is prompt, and the restaurant's cleanliness adds to the overall positive impression. Whether you're a spice enthusiast or prefer milder options, Nando's diverse offerings cater to all palates. It's a fantastic spot for casual gatherings or a quick, delicious meal. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a tasty and enjoyable dining experience!

Got a table quickly. We ordered and the food took ages to come. It was cold and to add insult to injury the portion size was so small. Zero value for money. The worst Nandos I've been to.

Good service and food was cooked well. Didn't wait long to be served. Table was available. Polite and helpful staff. Clean and tidy.

Food was awful had a starter homous they forget to given sauce and chicken was awful and food arrived after 30 minutes. Staff was so rude

Seems odd that it's always busy and you have to queue for ages to get a table (especially if you need a high chair), yet the entire upstairs is always empty.

Always a good place to eat out, leaving feeling good. Nice place for the family to eat out.

The location was nice and cozy, we had to wait 2min for cleaning to have a booth instead of a regular table. The food was great and tasty. You can choose how the meat is seasoned and marinated. You have free sauces to choose from to get for your table. On the table there is a QR code that opens the menu and you can place the order online on the site and pay online or you can order at the bar to pay with cash. The chicken was very good and for dessert the Pastel de Nata was delicious.

Every time I come here the Chicken Livers are never in stock. Today was first thing in the morning which kinda tells me that they just can’t be bother to order or cook them for customers. The cashier told me that I had to order a quarter chicken or a starter to get my green rewards of 3 wings which was the wrong information to give out. This place is dying and needs some injection of life 🙏.

Nando’s food but not the Nando’s atmosphere and service.

Great local restaurant with handy parking. Plenty of space inside and excellent service. Ordered my food through the website and arrived very quickly. Good quality and food came out hot unlike at other Nando’s I have been to.

Friendly staff and good service

Colliers wood nandos he is like all nandos but a staff they are 0

Came in a group of 7. The food arrived at various times. We all ordered and some started to receive food. The last lot arrived with cold chips, hard rice and wasn’t acceptable. By the time stamp on the receipt, we had been waiting 30 mins and this was raised with the manager. Zero apologies or accountability from the manager whose reply was “2 minutes”. Just bad service by the team. Lack of communication. Seating took ages which would be understandable only if the serving staff communicated with each other. We had agreed with the hostess that a certain table would be for us once the diners left but was quickly taken by another server. Just bad all round. Best avoid and go to another Nando’s branch. By the owners reply to these reviews, they seem to take the stance of the manager “Zero accountability” aka zero improvements.

Hi my family visited Nando’s today and we could tell that it was one of those days that the food was not going to come on time It didn’t… after 45 mins the food arrived and was cold. We told the supervisor Kye who dealt with it perfectly. He remade our order again and did what ever he can to keep us happy. Hafeez was also a great polite helper. It could have been our worse meal but these two made sure it was completely the opposite. Well done guys

Friendly efficient staff. Fairly busy even on Monday lunch time.

Good atmosphere and quick service, encouraged to order and pay via app but was told that it's also possible to pay at the counter. Food was very nice and well cooked and seasoned.

More than 45min and the food still not on the table. They focus so much on delivery and take out so the people in the restaurant are left out . Don’t eat here ever again.

Get ready to wait more than 35 minutes for your food, the staff is to busy doing the take away orders!

Ruined by the criminal parking charge. Came shopped ate at nandos got fined 60 for staying 14 mins over 3 hours. .. never going this this trash again

The chicken tasted decent but seems to have less salt. The place was pretty cold and when asked were informed that's how it was. The main server was going about with a sullen look and there were no smiles or warm greetings. The person on the till was very good. The coke finished and for 20 mins it was not replinished. Overall for the money spend it was not a very enjoyable experience. Maybe a happy staff can change the atmosphere. The tables are also placed too close to each other.

Great service very friendly staff and wonderful food quite busy but great place to go with her family for a meal 😄

Food was soooo delicious here. The chicken liver dish was 🤯💥📈. The half chicken is well priced and nicely cooked.

No wonder Nando’s in Colliers Wood are left to chase flies out of boredom because their service is terrible with stubborn staff who insist on giving you chicken pieces that they like, rather than what the customers like. They just are lazy and tell you they’re so busy when they’re literally catching flies. So we all left without ordering so that they’re less busy and did them a favour. None of them are friendly and you feel like you’re a burden to them the moment you enter the restaurant. The so called manager was absolutely useless too. The place used to be our regular restaurant and never had issues ordering the same pieces before whether it’s packed or not. So seems like the staff today were not in the mood to do their job. Terrible and don’t bother going there and get them busy. They seem to be wanting to lose customers and close down the business. That’s what happens when you leave management to teenagers who don’t care. This is now additional. So we just went to another Nando’s and the manager there has told us, as customers we have the right to eat whatever piece of the chicken we like because we’re paying for it. She added that whatever we were told doesn’t make sense and there’s no such rule at Nando’s restaurants. So Boo to you Nando’s Colliers Wood. Booooo!!

Great atmosphere, nice music choices, food taste nice and spicy too. Generally good service.

Garlic chicken didn't had enough garlic, sides were pretty tasteless

Absolutely wonderful staff working on Wednesday 30th August 2023 around midday. Look after them well Nando's! Main meal and dessert was lovely!

Lousy service. A woman referred to as a manager was mistreating the delivery guys. I believe they are people and work as partners with Nandos! Very sad to see this situation, I hope it doesn't happen again. But I will not return to this restaurant. Slow and slow service. You guys should look more and improve service. Otherwise it's better to close the restaurant!

Manager was horrible other than that the waiter we had was lovely. I wouldn’t visit Colliers Wood nandos again.

Low quality cold food after waiting 25minutes for part of my order. And than they ran out of loaded chips. So i was given alternative i chose chips and peas, which never came. Too many workers walking around not caring about hungry people. Worst nandos experience!

Could do with tables being cleaned. Staff could talk less and actually work. Rater then standing in groups, the cutlery could use a good wash even better buy new ones or use wooden one with good quality. Oh, the chicken here is smaller than other nandos 😅

Good atmosphere and really friendly and helpful staff. Sadly our first experience there was a bit of a let down. But a proper solution was provided. Some food was at good temperature and others weren’t. All in all, will go back!

So many flies in the restaurant..Can contaminate food. Also I wait such a long time whenever I go to collect basic food like rice or chips…any easy 20-30mins tea for the simplest order! What takes so long..the Wimbledon branch are so efficient and quick!

Come to this branch often. Not sure what’s happened but the service and food was POOR. served us our chips and coleslaw and expected us to sit and wait til the mains we’re ready. I complained and they said the chips had only been out for five minutes. Am i meant to stare at them until their cold and our mains arrive? Not one apology for any staff about delay. When rest of food arrived 20mins later it was cold and chicken was dry. Not sure what’s happened at this place but won’t be coming back.

Nathan’s customer service was amazing, people like this gives me hope that good customer service exists. We need more Nathan’s in the world !

I have been here a few times before and all been good this time though the food I first ordered they didn't have so chose something else they didn't have that either. Service was ok.

Food was cold and asked workers they said we cant do anything and was not helpful at all.

Excellent staff. Ordered to pick up. Slight wait however had free drink on house.

Food really nice. Most of the staff ate friendly but I just found it cold sitting inside

Order first time and missing some food. Call them and they told me to wait for manager. Manager told me to wait and never actually talk to me. Call again and spoke with some lady and she told me she can't help and need to call deliveroo. No customer service at all.

Other nandos experiences have been better, atmosphere is very fast food and less dining style, music could not be heard loud enough as usual in other restaurants, would not be likely to return to this specific branch, but i do like nandos overall

Frango muito seco, assado já algum tempo Falta de higiene

I ordered a quarter chicken and once it came I had kindly asked the waitress to swap it with the thigh/leg part but she went on saying that they can't do that as there is a shortage of chickens or something so I said no worries. Later on a couple right next to us had complained about their chicken being too pink after having eaten half of the chicken and they were given a whole new chicken with the spice level changed aswell... How unfair was that ... Not just this our table was wobbly and we asked to move so we got moved and while we're eating another male staff with curly blonde hair comes up to us and says we have to move and can't sit there as it's reserved and I told him that the female waitress told us we can sit here so why are you saying that and he kept insisting and when I said we'll tell us where we should sit then he goes idk I just know u can't sit here as it's reserved!!!! Ridiculous behaviour so not helpful at all I wasn't happy with my experience today and I usually don't review bad stuff but today was just too much

Big thank you to the lovely Yasmin, who served us at the counter and went above and beyond to make our day! We love Nando’s and are very happy with today’s service. Thank you Yasmin! X

Been to this Nando’s since it opened. Always been good, it’s our go to Nando’s. Popped in today to have my share of cheeky Nando’s. Damn was I disappointed , the food was bland, the chicken was charred. There is no flavour in my mouth! Service was no where to be seen. There wasn’t even salt and pepper on the tables. Bottomless drink , there’s only diet available. Tried to get a sprite and it came out brown? No tissue or plates until we ask. What happened to this place?! Everyone eating looks just as disappointed as me and the place was pretty quiet for a Saturday! If I can I give it a 0 star, I would. Very upset about my experience today.

This is the worst Nando’s branch you can visit to, 4.0 rating it must be because they are asking their staff to do surveys otherwise people are soo rude here and can spoil your whole mood basically i went to eat with my kids, one of my kid was eating and he vomited so i panicked and started cleaning his vomit but i noticed all the staff ran away for what? i really want to know either they have served us old food or they didn’t want to clean, its a shame you have food place and u have no manners never visiting again

Food was cold, and there was a hair In our dip. Staff did not really bother. People have not hair nets on and staff is running in and out of the kitchen. One of the staff had long blond curly hair and was playing around with his hair and then serving food. Not very hygienic. We were so disgust by their behaviour and service that we left without eating. Such a disappointment!

We went there today for lunch as Nando’s is usually a safe option as we have had some great experiences in the past. Today the customer service was horrible! The girl on the till made us feel so bad and was very rude, she was trying to rush us through the order even though there were no customers behind us. They didn’t have chicken livers, like usual ( which is our favourite part of Nando’s ) and as we were very hungry, we just picked something very quick… after all of that experience the toilet didn’t have any toilet paper, the hand dryer was out of order. Overall the worst experience ever! I feel sorry for some of their staff there who was working very hard and trying to give a good service ( the girl on the floor). Overall all the staff including the manager looked miserable which was sad to see considering we visited at lunchtime peak.

Overall we had a nice experience up until our boneless chicken platter arrived. As you can see in the photo, the chicken thighs are extremely burnt. I can't believe this was sent to our table! I've eaten at many Nandos and have generally had a fantastic meal, this is one time where the food that was delivered was not suitable for consumption. We called the waiter over and he sorted us out with new chicken thighs but offered no apologies. Business as usual I suppose. The mash potatoes were obviously microwaved but at least were tasty. The chicken breast was really nice and as usual the peri peri sauces were the stars of the meal.

Our service from one member of staff was outstanding. He was very polite and has given %100 service. His name is Nathan and he works in collier Wood nandos.

Always buy at nandos wimbledon but went to colliers wood as I was closer bought 4 whole chickens over the weekend they all tasted and look burned! Very disappointed ☹️ other sides were alright.

You asked me for a review, so here it is! (Literally, they bother you every time you show up to give them reviews!) Nando’s as a company and food provider is great, I have eaten at (different) Nando’s many times! But THIS BRANCH is what nightmares are made of. Staff members are rude, manager and boss are childish, rude and clearly racist. They love to discriminate people and don’t provide any good customer service. I’m very confused and honestly wondering how they managed to become manager and boss? Literally the lack of professionalism is hilarious and anyone who is thinking of eating, don’t! Disgusting people.

I ordered the Butterfly burger with Fries and garlic bread. The food tastes good but the chicken and garlic bread was a bit dry.

food is fine, staff are friendly and welcoming but the bottomless-fizzy drinks are all flat and too overly priced app. £4 per glass, just not worth the value but what can you do, you need a drink to go with that food so this definitely should be looked into!

Always a great experience, love the food, great atmosphere, will come back again. Love the imitator wrap my fav!

Worst nandos ive been to. Food dry and overcooked. Went in to collect and after finally finding a staff member (girl behind the counter) asked for my food and she ignored me and started continued chatting up some man or the next 10-15 minutes

Staff with an attitude first of all. Unprofessional conversations between staff happening in front of customers. They will also skimp on portion size.

We ordered our Food at 8:11pm still waiting for our Food at 8:50pm only part of our Order was brought to us. I asked 3 people what the Delay was and everyone told me something different 🤔. I Even noticed the people that came after Us had their Food before Us. When I asked the Manager about this I was told because I had ordered a different Dinner from my Daughter and her partner therefore mine took longer to come (Seriously 🤔🤔). She (Manager) even told me they had all New Staff in that night ( What an excuse to come up with, could She have thought of something better) even the Corn 🌽 on the Cob didn't come the same time as the Main. Wasn't expressed at all. Very unorganised Restaurant. Was offered Free Chips 🍟 as a Reward!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW How nice off her 😤🤬

I ordered online and because the road was closed they didn’t deliver the order and tried to mark it as complete after the driver called me and didn’t let me explain how to get to my road or let me explain I could come and meet him further up the road to avoid him turning into the closed road , that’s not even the best part , when asked about what compensation should be awarded for the issue they told me I have to wait 48 hours while they review the issue
